Today we looked at footage of our line-learning exercise last lesson.
I was impressed that my various techniques worked on Sophie, and she learnt her lines in an enjoyable way.
However, I didn't spend enough time learning them myself and was cut up short.
When we watched the footage, the common acting skills portrayed for the characters were
+tilting head
+ softening voice
+looking down
+hair as a shield
+sighs.
Today we rehearsed again,
ReplyDeleteand split up into groups as wee had to produce 3 scenes. As director, I found everyone worked well once they had some direction and a prop. I was working with Josh, we did the billy and RSM scene.
learnt some lines,

ReplyDeleteWe looked at killed again, hard rehearsal and line learning, watched a video of the year 8's..
i remember when i was like that, its funny really,
but surprising and impressive how much all our skills have developed.
but theres still room for more.

ReplyDeletei wasnt in today, but sophie rung me for instructions,
and they split into a few small groups and then did scenes from 'killed'
whilst the Austinator (see what i did there? ;] )
filmeddddd.
today we just really listned to the obvious,
ReplyDeleteit didnt work,
no body seemed to take what was said on board.
well, today, we actually did okay.
ReplyDeletenot great, but not bloody terrible either.
we have improved, to say the least.
we had ideas about breakaway glass, but there is the question of cost, so we had to scrap that idea.
the one voice at a time rule made it a lott easier to work, and all being directors in the audience helped see from the audience's point of veiw.
bad thing: too slow.
today went okay,
ReplyDeletewe found out richlove was leaving friday and wont be here for the preformance so that put a little stress on things, but it will get sorted.
ill ask steph and jaymie if their up for rsm act one, its an important part, but then again they all are.
if people arent up to scratch the whole things going to fall apart, its not fair some people are really making an effort and some people just dont care, its going to ruin the overall result.
to be completely honest the cockyness has gone, and im starting to worry that its going to be a disaster.
